Today's Subhashita.

एकः पुत्रो वरं विद्वान्बहुभिर्निर्गुणैस्तु  किं  |
एकस्तारयते  वंशः  अन्ये   संतापकारकाः  ||

अर्थ -      अनेक गुणहीन  पुत्रों के होने से तो एक ही विद्वान् पुत्र का होना श्रेयस्कर है | वही अकेला पुत्र अपने वंश की  परम्परा  और प्रसिद्धि को आगे बढाने मे सक्षम होता है जब कि  अनेक गुणहीन पुत्र केवल संताप ही  देते हैं  |

Ekah putro varam vidvaanbahubhirnirgunnaistu kim.
Ekastaarayate vamshh anye samtaapakaarakaah.

Ekah = one.    Putro = son.     Varam = preferable, better.    Vidvaanbahubhirnirgunaistu = vdvaan +bahubhih + nirgunai + tu .    Vidvaan = learned.     Bahubhih = too many.   Nirgunaih = without any qualities and virtues.  tu = and.    Kim = what.   Ekastaarayate= ekah + taarayate.    Taarayate =carries on the tradition or name and fame  of ...   Vamshh = family dynasty.     Anye = others.   Samtaapkaarakaah + samtaap + kaarakaah.   Samtaap = grief.    Kaarakaah = causing.

i.e.      It is always preferable to have one learned and righteous son rather having too many sons without any virtues and qualities.   One learned son is capable of preserving  and continuing the tradition and good name of the family dynasty, whereas having many incompetent sons causes only grief and bad name to the family dynasty.
